  2. Substructure search using SMARTS • SMARTS – an extension of SMILES for substructure searching • (“regular expressions for substructures”) • Simple example • Ether: [OD2]([#6])[#6] • Any oxygen with exactly two bonds each to a carbon • Can get more complicated • Carbonic Acid or Carbonic Acid-Ester: [CX3](=[OX1])([OX2])[OX2H,OX1H0-1] • Hits acid and conjugate base. Won't hit carbonic acid diester • Example use of SMARTS • Create a list of SMARTS terms that identify functional groups that cause toxicological problems. • When considering what compounds to synthesise next in a medicinal chemistry program, search for hits to these SMARTS terms to avoid synthesising compounds with potential toxicological problems • FAF-Drugs2: Lagorce et al, BMC Bioinf, 2008, 9, 396.

  3. FAF-Drugs2: Free ADME/tox filtering tool to assist drug discovery and chemical biology projects, Lagorce et al, BMC Bioinf, 2008, 9, 396.

  4. Calculation of Topological Polar Surface Area • TPSA • Ertl, Rohde, Selzer, J. Med. Chem., 2000, 43, 3714. • A fragment-based method for calculating the polar surface area

  5. Quantitative Stucture-Activity Relationships (QSAR) • Also QSPR (Structure-Property) • Exactly the same idea but with some physical property • Create a mathematical model that links a molecule’s structure to a particular property or biological activity • Could be used to perceive the link between structure and function/property • Could be used to propose changes to a structure to increase activity • Could be used to predict the activity/property for an unknown molecule • Problem: Activity = 2.4 * Does not compute! • Need to replace the actual structure by some values that are a proxy for the structure - “Molecular descriptors” • Numerical values that represent in some way some physico-chemical properties of the molecule • We saw one already, the Polar Surface Area • Others: molecular weight, number of hydrogen bond donors, LogP (octanol/water partition coefficient) • It is usual to calculate 100 or more of these

  6. Building and testing a predictive QSAR model • Need dataset with known values for the property of interest • Divide into 2/3 training set and 1/3 test set • Choose a regression model • Linear regression, artificial neural network, support vector machine, random forest, etc. • Train the model to predict the property values for the training set based on their descriptors • Apply the model to the test set • Find the RMSEP and R2 • Root-mean squared error of prediction and correlation coefficient • Practical Notes: • Descriptors can be calculated with the CDK or RDKit • Models can be built using R (r-project.org) • For a combination of the two, see rcdk

  7. Lipinski’s Rule of Fives Chris Lipinski • Took dataset of drug candidates that made it to Phase II • Examined the distribution of particular descriptor values related to AMDE • An orally active drug should not fail more than one of the following ‘rules’: • Molecular weight <= 500 • Number of H-bond donors <= 5 • Number of H-bond acceptors <= 10 • LogP <= 5 • These rules are often applied as an pre-screening filter Note: Rule of thumb Rule of Fives Oral bioavailability Image: http://collaborativedrug.com/blog/blog/2009/10/07/cdd-community-meeting/

  8. Cheminformatics resources • Programming toolkits: Open Source • OpenBabel (C++, Perl, Python, .NET, Java), RDKit (C++, Python), Chemistry Development Kit [CDK] (Java, Jython, ...), PerlMol (Perl), MayaChemTools (Perl) • Cinfony (by me!) presents a simplified interface to all of these • See http://cinfony.googlecode.com for links to an online interactive tutorial and a talk • Command-line interface: • OpenBabel (“babel”) See http://openbabel.org/wiki/Babel for information on filtering molecules by property or SMARTS • See http://openbabel.org/wiki/Tutorial:Fingerprints for similarity searching, • MayaChemTools • GUI: • OpenBabel • Specialized toolkits: • OSRA: image to structure • OPSIN: name to structure • OSCAR: Identify chemical terms in text • Building models: R (http://r-project.org), rcdk
